"It might be Oregon&amp;apos;s most famous trail, well, aside from the one that used to give your computer character malaria and cost you a wagon axle in the process. The McKenzie River Trail is in almost every mountain biking and hiking guidebook, yet you&amp;apos;re not likely to run into all that much traffic while riding it. The Forest Service classifies its usage as \"heavy,\" but because of its length (26.5 miles) and the tendency of riders to shuttle the trail, riding only in one direction, you&amp;apos;ll likely disagree with the classification.\nGearing up for a ride on a recent Saturday, we saw a shuttle van drop off six riders from British Columbia. They set out on the trail ahead of us along with one other pair of riders. We gave them a 15-minute head start and never saw most of them again, save the last two riders when we briefly passed them. On the entire 24-mile, roughly five-hour, stretch that we rode, we only crossed paths with two pairs of riders who were headed up the trail."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
